Well right off the bat, we get the answer to a question that has been nagging a lot of viewers: Where were Jin and Sawyer during Claire and the Locke Ness Monster’s raid of the Temple. Turns out Jin was convalescing and Sawyer was, I guess, babysitting. Works for me!
While I enjoyed [...]
I’m going to take a break from trying to prove or disprove whether Christian Shephard is the Smoke Monster, and instead ask if we believe that every single ghost we’ve seen is an incarnation of the Smoke Monster. Specifically, I’m wondering about the ghosts we’ve seen off the island. Granted, most of these people appeared [...]
Better late than never, right?
So I have a small confession to make. I was originally going to include this review in the following episode’s recap, meaning that I would only write a brief blurb about what happened in this episode. But after watching this, I came to realize that there isn’t going to [...]
Applesister1 had this to say in response to my disappointment over the brief interaction between Ben and Sayid from last week’s episode:
Ben and Sayid: from Ben’s perspective, the last time he saw Sayid was on Ajira 316, right? When Sayid told Ilana Ben was evil, because Ben had recently manipulated Sayid into becoming an assasin, [...]
I received a comment regarding last week’s episode of 24:
I actually thought that the last two weeks were pretty solid episodes that appear to be driving the main storyline for the bulk of the season. Now, we have the potential for a serious threat to the US, instead of the indirect threat of the nuclear [...]
So as a Cablevision subscriber who lives in the New York City area, at the moment I don’t have ABC 7 coverage, which totally sucks. No Lost or no Modern Family, so I’m not pleased. But apparently they’re working on coming to a deal, so hopefully come Tuesday (or even come time I [...]
So here I am, another Wednesday and just getting to my 24 column. Granted, it’s because I didn’t get around to watching the episode until late Tuesday night, but then again, a few years ago I never would have imagined going to bed at 11 or so and simply putting 24 off until later [...]
So in my Revisited column, I mentioned how Christian alerted Sun and Frank that Locke (who we now know is the Smoke Monster) was going to help them reunite with their friends. The two Ajira crash landing survivors looked outside to see Locke standing there. I was attempting to use this example as [...]
So last week’s episode of Lost received some mixed feedback amongst my family and friends who watch the show. And this surprised me a bit, as I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Granted, I’m a confessed fan of Jack, so maybe my interest in his character made an otherwise lackluster episode seem pretty satisfactory. [...]
A pretty good indicator of how “into” a series I am is my eagerness to write a column. What is it, Wednesday now?
Truth be told, this week’s episode of 24 was a vast improvement over the past few weeks. I actually got the sense that this was the token “turning point” episode in [...]
So interestingly, my Revisited columns have received even more feedback and interaction than my regular column. I’ve had a lot of fun discussions on my blog, be sure to drop by and lend your thoughts.
Speaking of my Revisited column, earlier this week I reiterated an idea proposed by the reviewer at EW.com, that “Shephard” [...]
Throughout the first half of this episode I was ready to write it off as filler, but this actually ended up being a really enjoyable, surprisingly significant episode. Although I do find it somewhat amusing – and odd – that the writers have said in the past that they hate doing holiday themed episodes, [...]
Between this being a Locke episode and the audience becoming more comfortable with the “Flash Sideways” concept, “The Substitute” is the first Revisited of the final season that really feels like its delving into hints and topics that I may have missed the first time around.
Now, before we get to last week’s episode, there is [...]
Remember last week when I said that these two guys extorting Dana have basically just become a bad cliché? You know, drinking and driving, acting rowdy and listening to loud music? Well, you can now add going to a strip club to that list. Next week, expect to see black hats, spitting, [...]
“What was that all about?”
“Inside joke.”
I have to say, I didn’t expect to be so touched by seeing Locke, in the Sideways universe, so legitimately happy while living a normal existence. Sure, he “found” himself and a purpose on the island, but there was something sweet about him living happily, with his bride-to-be, as [...]
There was one moment from last week’s episode that I forgot to mention (which is surprising, considering the pro Jack/Kate stance I took), but that was Kate’s strange moment of familiarity when she saw Jack talking on his cell phone moments after she carjacked the cab (cabjacked?) I’m not so much surprised that this [...]
Long time viewers of Smallville, such as myself, have come to expect certain things. One of the top things on that list is that they typically follow up an “event” level episode with one that can be described as “filler.” It’s totally excusable in my opinion, especially when you consider how many epics [...]
So I had off of work Wednesday due to weather, so I had the opportunity to watch “Absolute Justice,” the two-hour Smallville event. And my wording there was deliberate. I don’t know if it was the extended episode, or the fun new/classic characters, or what seemed like improved production values, but the two [...]
Did I really just see Jack Bauer get stabbed in the gut, only to use that very knife to stab a guy in the neck from across the room and then proceed to blindly shoot all of his adversaries moments before calmly talking down the person who had stabbed him in the first place? [...]
“So, as you can see, Hugo here has assumed the leadership position. So that’s pretty great.”
As was that line, Miles. As was that line.
I have to admit something. To tell you the truth, Jack and everybody kinda did deserve to get their asses kicked at the beginning of the episode. After [...]
